If any game were to beat FIFA 12, it would have to have been NBA 2K12. FIFA 12 is nearly "right there" with NBA 2K12. If FIFA 12 would have added a classic mode with the likes of Pele and such, FIFA 12 would have had a better chance.
It's hard to choose though; I am privileged to have both and absolutely love FIFA 12 esp. H2H seasons, but as a basketball fan, and casual gamer, I have to tip my hat to NBA 2K12. Still a "TOUGH" choice though.
